   A dramatic song with acoustic guitar, jazz guitar, bass, distortion guitar, drums, vocals, and harmonies. Ever notice that whenever things just start to go well, it all has to end?

I have waited for a long, long time
To find a girl as great as you
I tell you the truth
You're that special

But that's the way of the world
It may give, but then it'll take
Twisted, stinkin' irony
Just in time to say, "Goodbye."

I wasn't, no I wasn't
Looking for anyone
But here you are
I know it's been said
I know you need me
And I want you

But that's the way of the world
It may give, but then it'll take
Twisted, stinkin' irony
Just in time to say, "Goodbye."

But I don't really give a damn
The world may take, but then so will I
If that's the way of the world
Let's not play by its rules
Look right into my eyes
Then you will see that I know the truth
I have waited a long time
And there's no need to wait anymore

But that's the way of the world
It may give, but then it'll take
Twisted, stinkin' irony
Just in time to say, "Goodbye."
